Tanzania 2012 Day 8: Kilimanjaro Western Breach and Crater

Kapanya called it D-Day. The climb was from 16K' to 18,780' and it was steep. I took few photos of the climb because I needed my hands to get through the Class III rock climbing, but it was loads of fun. This day felt like real mountaineering. After arriving in Crater Camp, I hiked to the ash pit with John and Kapanya, a hike that required going over 19K' for the first time, and offering some amazing views. What a day, and we hadn't even submitted yet.
